An arrest has been made in the stabbing death of a man who died after driving himself to a
hospital emergency room.

Richard R. Cochran, 50, was arrested last night and charged with murder in the death of Anthony
M. St. Clair, police said.

St. Clair, 22, died within an hour of arriving at the University Hospital East emergency room at
10:09 p.m. on Monday. After collapsing inside, emergency personnel tried to revive him. He was
pronounced dead at 10:51 p.m.

St. Clair played football at Eastmoor Academy on the East Side, where he started at center on
the state runner-up team his senior season in 2008.

Head Coach Jim Miranda said St. Clair was a hard worker and well-liked by his teammates. He last
saw his former player earlier this year.

“He said he was doing fine,” Miranda said. “He’d just gotten a new roommate, and he was working
and trying to get back into school. ... I’m at a loss for words right now.”

A handwritten note on the family’s North Side front door thanked visitors for prayers and
sympathies, but asked that only family come inside.
